Snoop's
new show is a collection of humorous skits, music performances and
man-on-the-street bits featuring Snoop. It airs weekly Monday
10.30p.m on MTV

In the first episode, skits included
Snoop:1. Working undercover at an Arby's drive-through,
pouring one unsuspecting customer gin-and-juice2. Wearing gold chains and a powder blue velour jogging
suit, bragging about getting kicked off the Muppets Christmas
special before it even aired. 3. Rapping a few nursery rhymes -- "Old MacDonald"
became "Old Mack Daddy," and "This Old Man"
became "This Old Pimp."4. Going into a real school and plays the character Mr.
Dizzle, a teacher who wears a gray suit and tie, bulky wire-rim
glasses and an Afro. First lesson. "Do drugs."... "Do
drugs!" the kids in the classroom, who looked about 8 years
old, obediently recited.

Story time. Mr. Dizzle reads a
classic in the pimp noir genre, "Trick Baby" by Iceberg
Slim, one installment of a series of novels published by former
Chicago pimp Robert Beck in the 1970s. Mr. Dizzle reads aloud the
part of the novel where the pimp threatens to put a woman's
"fast little butt into a sling."

The pilot episode drew 1.7 million viewers, respectable for MTV.MTV execs say they hope "Televizzle"
can be made into a regular series, which would cement Snoop's
journey on the now well-worn path from gangsta to screen star.

"Snoop is a giant star for our
audience," said Michele Dix, MTV's vice president for music and
talent programming. "Everything he does reverberates throughout
pop culture, and he's a likable character on camera."

Dix points to the scene in which
Snoop, playing the fur-clad Cap'n Pimp, sucks down a 40-ounce malt
liquor, then rushes to the aid of a woman being robbed. Using his
special pimp powers, Snoop's hand extends à la Inspector Gadget,
and he cold-slaps the male assailant.

"Snoop is probably the only
artist who could bring that to our channel," Dix said. "It
has an edge, but it won't offend."

You may be wondering after the
release of the single From Tha Chuuuch To Da Palace, what
does 'chuuuch' really mean?

Snoop said the term "chuuuch"
was presented to him by his colleague and renowned pimp, the
Archbishop Don Magic Juan. "It's simply stating that we keep
God in everything we do, and we try to be more positive than
negative,". "By us saying chuuuch, it's a positive
greeting. And it just brings joy to our heart and soul."

Snoop has been so taken by the term,
that he uses it as the name of his recording studio. "You got
to have our spirit right here first of all when you making these
records," Snoop said. "You got to have your mind on the
spirit on right so people can feel what you saying."

Today
is the general date for the release of Snoop's 6th album in the USA
and England (I think). Well if you havent already don't forget to buy
your copy! ($18.98 clean, $15.49 explicit)

"Paid Tha Cost To Be Da
Bo$$" to be released in Australia Friday 29th Nov

2.Smoke-Free
Snoop Blows Up Smoke OutSnoop Dogg ignored the
persistent audience chant of "Hit the bong!" for a large
portion of his set at the Smoke Out festival on Saturday before he
finally made the mistake of asking, "What bong?"

Despite the day's marijuana-centered
theme, Snoop left the stage without inhaling.

Backstage, Snoop said that it was a
"personal invite" from B-Real that brought him to the
fifth Cypress Hill Smoke Out, held for the first time at the Los
Angeles Coliseum. "Me and him go way back," Snoop
explained. "He played on my new record, he played the congas on
it. We family like that. This is an annual event for him. I'm local.
I'm in the 'hood. So it's a good thing, I appreciate [the
invitation]."

Snoop Dogg arrived via armored
vehicle well after 1:00 a.m. With Warren G, a skull-masked homey,
security guards and several other hangers-on all dressed in some
shade of blue, Snoop hit the stage with "Murder Was the
Case," then dipped liberally into his Death Row, No Limit and
Doggy Style Records catalog. The estimated 20,000-strong audience
rapped along to nearly every word until the bong came out. Then
Snoop, wearing a wide smile, left the stage.

22nd November 2002MTV
Plans Snoop Dogg Variety ShowMTV is unleashing Snoop Dogg
to star in his own variety show.The
pilot for the rapper's half-hour program, ``Doggy Fizzle Televizzle,''
is scheduled to air at 10:30 p.m. EST Monday.

21st
November 2002 Snoop role in
film as 'Huggy Bear' in negotiationAfter months of
speculation it is confirmed that Snoop is in negotiations to play
the Role of 'Huggy Bear' in Warner Bros big screen version of the
70's TV show Starsky & Hutch. Main stars Ben Stiller
plays Starsky and Owen Wilson plays Hutch.

The offer to the Snoop Dogg was expected since Stiller has been saying for
months that that he wanted the Huggy Bear role to go to the singer. Huggy Bear
is a jive-talking hustler who gives the two cops vital information in order to
crack their cases, as well as providing much comic relief. Huggy Bear was played
by Antonio Fargas on the original TV series.

Snoop is also set to star in Lady T. and Mojo Slim described as
"Robin Hood meets an urban Bonnie and Clyde".

20th November 2002Snoop helps football team to play-offsThe new offensive coach of
the Chino Hills Bulldogs ("The Dawgs"), has helped the
team reach the play-offs. Snoop has taken them in style by
purchasing a custom-made 50-seat bus in which the 8- and 9-year-old
team members can cruise to Junior All-American Football league
games.

The team plays Sunday in the league's Super Bowl at Elsinore High School. His
son is also in the team.

"It's no fake thing. It's about love and about the kids.. I didn't start off wanting to coach,' Snoop said. "I was just supporting my son and the team. I saw an opportunity to volunteer and help when they didn't have a coach.'

"He hasn't missed a practice. He's here every day. Apparently
(one time) he did Jay Leno and then got back in time for practice,'
said Michele Schell, a team mum.

"I'm here cause I love being around these kids. I know what I've taught them and they're going to run wild with it,' he said. Snoop said he has been busy preparing the team for the playoffs, their toughest challenge yet.

"We've been practicing extra hard. Going over fundamentals. We got some
things people are expecting, some things they aren't expecting. We're gonna
throw it all at them,' said the coach, beaming with pride about his team's seven
wins against only one loss this season. Under his arm Snoop carried a secret
playbook with new offensive plays he had just developed. He also prepared a hip-
hop tape to get the team energized before games.

"It's some music from my world,' he said, then quickly added, "I
made it rated PG. I cleaned it up.' The track is called "Get Out of the
Way' by fellow rapper Ludacris and has become the team song.

Snoop's groove seems to be infectious. At a recent practice, several of his players spontaneously began dancing on the sidelines.
